1965 Piper PA24 260B Comanche N8794P - $128,900

Desert Airplane - Many Airframe Mods - Hangared - Beautiful

Summary

N8794P is a well preserved 1965 Piper PA24B Comanche, and the very first single engine Comanche we have ever offered. It is one of the cleanest B model PA-24s we've seen in a long time. It will be sold with a fresh annual inspection and the aircraft records are impeccable. This is an ideal platform for an upgrade to the Garmin GFC500 autopilot given its current condition, total airframe hours and it's "no damage" pedigree.
